World Leader in Energy from Waste (EfW)

• Operate 42 modern EfW facilities in North America,

China and Europe.

• Annual capacity to process 20 million tons of waste

• Generate 9 million megawatt hours—enough clean energy to power over 1 million homes.

• Annually recycle over 500,000 tons of metal - the equivalent amount of steel that would be used to build 90 CN Towers per year, and over 2 billion beverage cans.

• Processes 140,000 tonnes per year

• 78.6% owned by Durham Region, 21.4% owned by York Region

• Covanta has a 20-year DBOM contract

• 17.5 MW gross electrical production

Solid Waste Management Hierarchy

• The European Union and the U.S. EPA have both concluded that following the waste management hierarchy generally maximizes energy savings and minimizes greenhouse gas emissions

GHG Benefits of EfW

7

In Ontario, the net GHG benefit is estimated to be 0.8 tonne GHG savings as CO2e / tonne MSW diverted from landfilling, assuming displacement of natural gas fired electrical generation.

U.S. EPA“... MSW combustors actually reduce the amount of GHGs in the atmosphere compared to landfilling. The savings are estimated to be about 1.0 ton of GHGs saved per ton of MSW combusted.”

Energy-from-Waste Process

After reducing, reusing and recycling, residual waste is used to produce clean renewable energy at Covanta’s EfW facilities.

9

500 –750 kWh of Power

~50 lbs. of Recycled Metal

Ash: ~10% of Original Volume

One Ton of Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

Energy-from-Waste is Land Dense

Energy-from-Waste uses less land per megawatt than other renewable energy sources.

• EfW facilities require an average of 0.7 acres/MW

• Landfill gas 27 acres/MW

• Solar requires 8 acres/MW

• Wind requires 18 acres/MW
